A screenshot of the new Google Sheets icon. It's a weird rectangle with a blue fade on the left and a green blob on the right. Another darker green rectangle is behind it to the left. On top of the icon is two perpendicular lines intersecting in the bottom right.

Finally got around to sorting through the thousands of photos I took while in Japan. Here's a few more quiet abstract ones I enjoyed. More on Flickr. www.flickr.com/photos/theko... #photography #fujifilm #x100vi

a soft orange bench in a subway car illuminated by the sun pouring in from the window. It has a mellow 1970s vibe in the color and design.

A triangle shape cut into the side of a Japanese fort. Looking out the triangle you see light and the texture of the water below.

A frosted floor to ceiling window peering into an office building at night. The florescent lights can be seen while the rest of the interior is blurry.

This is some great news from the folks at Flickr! #flickr #photography #CreativeCommons

A long-awaited upgrade!
Creative Commons 4.0 arriving soon to Flickr.
Hi Chris Koerner,
This June, Flickr is rolling out support for version 4.0 of the Creative Commons license suite - the most global, legally robust licenses produced by CC yet.
Here's what's in it for you:
• If your account defaults to one of the six Creative Commons 2.0 licenses, we'll automatically upgrade it to 4.0 for all your future uploads. Easy peasy -no clicks required.
• Your existing photos with CC 2.0 licenses? They'll stay just as they are unless you decide to update them.
• Prefer other license types or dedication tools? Not to worry— those won't be affected by this change.
Creative Commons 4.0 brings clearer terms, better international usability, and more flexibility for creators like you. We're excited to support a stronger, smarter future for open sharing on Flickr.
Got questions? Our Support Heroes are here to help.

I had a great first-time experience at #Shutterfest this year. I'm working on editing some of the photos from the different classes I took. Here's a few first takes. It was fun getting guidance from professionals and being matched up with some friendly and chill models. #photography #nikon #d800

A dark skinned woman stands on a city sidewalk in a strong power-pose. She is wearing a dark one-piece jumpsuit. Her hands are on her hips and she has a serious expression on her face.

A dark-sinned man with a full beard and shaved head stands in a regal ball-room or bar. He is lit with a flash and is looking directly to the left of the photographer.

A young woman wearing a yellow kitted top and jeans stands on a city street. Her natural hair is buoyant around her head. She is lit by the sunlight as she looks up and to the right.

If you don’t put in the effort, you’re not going to receive much. And the discourse gets lowered, and everything gets a little more dumbed down and then that’s when the ruffians come in, and they’re the ones with energy and stupidity and then they can crush all the thoughtful people. That’s not good for culture, and that’s not good for humanity. We see the results of that all the time.
